Leadership Austin continues to monitor our community response to the pandemic and will adjust our seminars based on direction from Austin Public Health. At this time our Spring 2021 Experience Austin program will be delivered virtually. We invite you to register, but our priority is to support your individual decisions as this situation continues to unfold. We will offer reschedules or refunds if this seminar date changes. Thank you!
“Experience Austin should really be called Essential Austin because the overview it provides is essential for every civic-minded Austinite. It is foundational for understanding such a dynamic place and finding avenues for greater engagement and understanding.” – Ryan Frederick, Fall 2020
“As a recent transplant to Austin, I didn’t want to be the new guy that tried to deep dive into the community without any context. Thankfully, I found the Experience Austin program within The Leadership Austin suite of programming. I know only time will help me feel like I have been here for a long time, but this class gave me the help I needed to get engaged with the community.” – Tony Prenger, Fall 2020
“The sessions were an excellent investment in my personal development. I upgraded my knowledge of our community, learned new facts and re-contextualized many of my previous beliefs.” – Karen Brimble, Spring 2019
